Strikethrough text generator to copy
This effect adds a combining Unicode line after visible characters instead of applying rich-text formatting. It is useful for playful corrections, crossed-out options, and short chat phrases when the original word should remain visible. Fonts position combining marks differently around spaces, accents, and emoji, so the line may not be perfectly continuous. Use the live converter to compare the result with real examples, then copy the version that remains clear at a small size. Search, selection, and screen-reader output can differ from plain text; never use the effect to hide a meaningful correction.

Use the examples to shortlist two options. The most expressive version is not always the clearest on a small screen.

If you see boxes, clipping, or a rejection, return to plain text and test another option. The note below explains where it usually works.
